The Rate-Master® flowmeter line of direct reading precision flowmeters incorpo-
rates many unique user features at moderate cost. These low cost flowmeters are
ideal for general use.
Easy to read design — The direct reading scales eliminate troublesome conver-
sions. The scales are brushed aluminum, coated with epoxy and the graduations are
on both sides of the indicating tube. Special integral flow guides stabilize the float
throughout the range to keep it from hunting or wandering in the bore. The float is
highly visible against a white background.
Construction assures accuracy — All Rate-Master® flowmeter bodies are injec-
tion molded of tough, clear, shatter-proof polycarbonate plastic around a precision ta-
pered pin. The result is accurate and repeatable readings. The single piece plastic
body is mounted to a stainless steel back bone into which pipe thread inserts are
welded to absorb piping torque. Precision metering valves of brass or stainless steel
(specify BV or SSV on order) are available as an optional extra and permit precise
flow adjustments. For vacuum applications, Model RMA units are available with top
mounted valves (specify TMV). The small Series RMA models are accurate within
±4% of full scale reading; Series RMB within ±3%; large Series RMC within ±2%.
Installation is simple — The Rate-Master® Flowmeter can be neatly panel mount-
ed to keep flow tube centers in the same plane as the panel surface or surface mount-
ed on the panel by means of tapped holes in the backbone. When through-panel
mounted, the bezel automatically positions the instrument at the correct depth in the
panel cutout. Surface mounted units can also be held in place by the piping. All
mounting hardware plus installation and operating instructions are included.
Easy-to-Interchange bodies — Within a given Series Rate-Master® flowmeter
bodies can be instantly interchanged. Simply “unplug” the body from backbone and
replace it with another. “O” rings provide a tight seal on inlet and outlet. Piping re-
mains undisturbed. Interchangeability is useful where different scale ranges are
sometimes required at the same location in the laboratory or plant.
Cleaning is easy — To release the plastic flowmeter body from the stainless steel
backbone, just remove four screws. Pipe thread flow connections remain undis-
turbed. Remove the slide cover and the plug ball stop, clean the flow tube with soap
and water and reassemble. It’s that simple.

CAUTION
Dwyer® Rate-Master® flowmeters are designed to provide satisfactory
long term service when used with air, water, or other compatible media.
Refer to factory for information on questionable gases or liquids. Caus-
tic solutions, anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) and aromatic solvents should
definitely not be used.
